It is most successful, and offers up new enjoyment on further perusal. The red bits at the bottom, for instance. They did not really register last time, but this time they definitely did and gave additional enjoyment. That's why I wanted to fave again, in part!

Thanks. The black line that intersects the center of the red heart fragment is amazing - and I can say so myself because it was accidental! And the shape containing the red is rather like a comic word balloon. Plus various ways the white space itself can be read. A lot to see in so small a piece.

I was marveling at those very things as I studied the piece. I love the ATC format for the compression. What's amazing to me is how the viewer can miss stuff that's going on even in such a small space, though, just as I missed things the first time. I guess it's more a function of where the head is than the actual size of the piece.

You know, I'm still thinking about that collage wall. I'm not too excited bout doing it digitally and having it printed, and at the same time, the traditional collage is always at risk of getting ruined Instead of sticking them directly on the wall, I think I'm gonna do it on a massive paper that I can take with me wherever I go

I'm sick of leaving my "wall art" behind lol I actually let my id get carried away one day and I painted part of my wall purple with a sponge, and a bit of gold spray paint lol And in the other appartment [link]

South Dakota - I wouldn't call this a southern state 781.919 inhabitants according to wikipedia - it seems that you have to drive a long way to your next door neighbor - good to see that they have a library (and teachers), though - strange ...

Uh-huh. I grew up in a state - Maine - with less than a million people (more now) but the Dakotas are even bigger in land area. Well - they're a long way from the east coast where our country's settlement began (with some allowances for Spanish settlement coming up from where Mexico is now in the west). Very desolate, I think. Vast farms, few neighbors, no forest, a few cities.

well... you know... anyone who did yell at them would be just expressing his or her own artistic frustration at the moment... the scraps would understand. after they got over the trauma. hypothetically.

I've been listening to old live Coltrane stuff lately too - some new issues of European concerts just came out - and there are several versions of "Impressions" which is "So What" at a super tempo. I never knew that till I read it somewhere a few years ago!

I'm not a slap-stick, or Curly, Mo and ?, I enjoy less obvious comedy, altho' Monty P. has it's share of 'dumb' comedy, it's pretty sophisticated...like the guy in the field yelling "HELP! I'm being oppressed!" (sorry 'bout the quote), that requires some obscure knowledge of history...I've now turned something funny into a boring monologue...good one Claudia....
